MAGA Mike PANICS as GOP wants HIM FIRED!!!
MAGA Mike Johnson, the Republican. Speaker of the House, is panicking as. members of his own party want him out. They think that he is the worst Speaker. of the House ever. MAGA Mike, as you. know, shut down the House of. Representatives until at least July 13th. when there was a full-fledged revolt in. the past week and a half against MAGA. Mike's leadership. The MAGA Republican. extremists in the House blocked MAGA. Mike from passing a rule, as it's.
called, in order to keep Congress. running. So, MAGA Mike panicked and he. was like, "Okay, everybody go home until. July 13th." So, MAGA Mike shut down the. House of Representatives until at least. July 13th and now we're hearing other. MAGA Republican leaders mock him for. that and they're preparing, they see. blood in the water, for them to take. over leadership when MAGA Mike cost the. Republicans the House of Representatives.
in the meantime in the midterm. So, by. way of example, you've got MAGA. Republican Congressman Jason Smith. He. went public with his criticism of MAGA. Mike. It wasn't just a criticism, as Raw. Story says, Mike Johnson was shamed by. MAGA lawmakers over his leadership. problems. Fix it or else. And this as. the MAGA Republicans are in a. full-fledged revolt against him. Let me. show you what Jason Smith, MAGA.
Republican Congressman, he's like the. number three top ranking Republican in. the House of Representatives. He went on. state regime media Fox and here's what. he said. He said, "We don't need you. recessing. Stop sending us home. You're. making us all look dumb, MAGA Mike.". Here, play this clip. >> Is there something more that Johnson can. be doing here? Because out of the last. seven speakers, um Johnson has had the. most failed rule votes at nine. Uh next.
behind him was Kevin McCarthy at three. And before that, there had not been a. failed rule since uh Dennis Hastert. Um Johnson's defense is always that he's. got the slimmest majority in history, but, you know, when the rule vote on the. NDAA, the skinny version of the Save. America bill failed last week, it's not. like he was, you know, keeping members. at home and twisting arms and having the. president make phone calls. Um he sent you guys home. At what point does this become a. leadership problem more than a function.
of a slim majority? >> You know, uh we do have a slim majority. I knew that going into the big beautiful. bill. I knew I could only lose two votes. in the House and three in the Senate. We. only lost two in the House, three in the. Senate, but we were able to thread that. needle. It's all about bringing people. together. I truly truly believe that um. we have to figure out what a team is. Um. we don't need to be recessing um when we. hit uh a bump on the road. We need to we.
need to have a conference meeting, go. and hash it out, fix the problem, and. that's what Speaker Boehner, Speaker. McCarthy, Speaker Ryan um. would do. And I would strongly insist. that let's get the job done for the. American people, and I think that that. you'll see that. >> With less than 30 seconds. >> So, that was on state regime media. earlier, and then there after Maga Mike. goes on, and Maga Mike just goes right. out of Donald Trump's playbook, and Maga.
Mike's like, "Okay, okay, okay. I hear. what he's saying, but folks, we're. dealing with communists right now. We're. dealing with Mom Donny, and people like. that have killed hundreds of millions of. people have died because of the beliefs. of people like Mom Donny." What the hell. are you talking about? Rent. stabilization boards, not raising rent. for 2 years, the horror. Giving people. free healthcare, universal healthcare,
single payer, the horror. Making sure. that all Americans receive education. that they deserve with the the horror to. make sure that Americans can afford. rent, can live the American dream, can. afford to buy and own their homes, the. horror to make sure that there can be. universal pre-K, to make sure that there. can be universal childcare. Oh my god, is this what they're really asking for? To make sure that people.
can work with dignity and get paid not. just. a minimum wage that is not enough to. afford the basics of of of their life, but to be able to actually. live a thriving life, have people get paid a wage with. dignity, the horror. Here's what Maga. Mike has to say. Let's play it. >> Mondani got elected in New York. I've. been out on the campaign trail country. wide across coast to coast, every swing.
district, the blue states, red states. saying the same thing. There are many. Mondanis popping up running for Congress. around the country and you better be. very serious about this. This is a. serious threat to our whole system of. government. These are Marxist. It's. communism, socialism. These are. deviations of Marxism. Begins with the. opposite premise of America and it is a. serious threat to us. These people want. to say They're saying it out loud. They. want to abolish all borders. They want. to abolish all prisons. They want to. defund the police. They want to abolish. the US Senate. They want to pack the.
Supreme Court. They want the government. to take over control of all production. This is communism and it has led to the. murder of innocent people, tens of. millions of them in the 20th century. alone. We have to fight this. We're no. longer just in an election cycle. We. were saying it was common sense versus. crazy. Now it's common sense versus. communism and everybody needs to wake. up. >> And then you have Maga Mike say, "Okay, okay, okay, but here's what we're going. to do. We're going to come up with the. reconciliation package. It's going to be. big. It's going to be beautiful. It's. going to be irresistible.
to Republicans. And this way we're going. to do this voter suppression. Everybody's going to be happy with Maga. Mike and we're going to suppress. people's votes because yeah, Donald. Trump doesn't give a Does Donald. Trump doesn't care about affordability. when it comes to housing. He hasn't even. signed that the housing bill. Donald. Trump doesn't care about health care. He'll just lie and say, "Your health. care prices are down 800%." Just make up. numbers. Um, but when it comes to you. know, uh, voter suppression, that's what.
we're going to focus on. Why? Because. these people are losers. They have loser. fascist ideas. People like Maga Mike and. Donald Trump are not patriots. They hate. America. They hate you. They hate this. country. All they want to do is take and. take and take and steal and cheat and. commit crimes. That's what they want to. do. Here's what Maga Mike has to say. Let's play it. >> What we're planning to do is send over a. bill that would be irresistible for any. Republican, really incredible, uh, piece. of legislation that will get the job. done. Meaning that we will continue to,
uh, increase affordability. We'll reduce. fraud, waste, and abuse in government. and we'll secure elections. Every. Republican would vote for that if if. packaged correctly and that's what we're. planning to do right now. >> All right, so that's where Save America. Acts is going to move to the Senate and. it's probably through that plan. >> Who I want to bring in right now. I want. to bring in Democratic Congressman Chris. Deluzio from [snorts] Pennsylvania. True patriot. Let me bring in. Congressman Deluzio. I interviewed him. just before. Let me bring in the. interview I just did with Congressman.
Deluzio from Pennsylvania. Bring it in. I want to bring in Congressman Chris. Deluzio from Pennsylvania. Congressman, great to see you. You know, these. economic reports that are coming in are. very dire. I mean, we're seeing no job. creation, revisions from prior job. reports, you know, showing that even. when there were bad job reports in the. past, it's even worse than we expected, you know, in in prior months. You know, when Donald Trump's out there saying. this is the golden age, he's got his.
national economic advisor, Kevin. Hassett, saying, "Hope is right around. the corner. This the the stage is set. for the and it's always right around the. corner. And you know what's going to. happen as they keep on crashing this. thing, they're just going to then find. their target to blame and say, "We were. about to do it. We were so close and. then the Democrats and then this. person." So So So how do we How do we. deal with it when people in your. district and across this country are.
suffering? >> And they are, right? People in. Pennsylvania and Western Pennsylvania, all over, are getting hammered by high. prices. Uh gas, yes, the place you see. every day and Donald Trump starting the. Iran war has driven up gas prices. tremendously. They're still north of $4. a gallon in my part of the world. Uh it. wasn't just the war in Iran he started. that made life more expensive, right? He. started all these trade wars that have. been pounding small businesses, especially, pounding farmers. I go on and on and has done nothing,
frankly, to address this heavy. consolidation of industries, this like. corporate monopolization of our economy. Um even the very weak action that the. DOJ and the Trump administration took on. the meat packers. You're all, "What. What's he talking about the meat. packers?". Beef has gone up tremendously in cost. and there is heavy heavy consolidation. And the Trump administration did nothing. about it. So we see this roll up, it. might be private equity, it might be. just overwhelming corporate power, we. see it squeeze people on prices,
kill small businesses. I mean, we're all. paying for it, whether you're in. Pennsylvania or anywhere else. Uh Donald. Trump has made so much of this worse. >> The scale. of his grift and self-enrichment, you know, and I believe criminality. while the American people is suffering. is. the scale is so big, I think that's what. he's relying on hoping that people just. can't even comprehend these numbers. I.
mean, people can understand, "Wow, you. did 10 trades and you manipulated in. markets during this period of time.". 21,000. trades? >> Crazy. >> 22,000 trades during during 1 year? I. mean, you're talking about 80 to 100. trades every single day and timed around. critical events where there were either. kind of, you know, massive. you know, massive tanking of the economy. or, you know, buying dips when the.
economy you know, when you had the. market rising. You know, and then the. crypto ventures, you know, bringing in the foreign money. to World Liberty Financial and and just. seeing all of that. I mean, how. how do you talk to your constituents. about that because, you know, what what. Trump will do the the pivot is, you. know, politics is corrupt in general. You know, there's corruption here, there's corruption there. They did it, we did it, everybody does it. This is on such a different level though.
that it is, you know, beyond. comprehension. >> This corruption and the level of. corruption from Trump and people around. him is unprecedented. I mean, 1.4. billion dollars through crypto ventures. alone should just shock your conscience. and it does. I think the reporting is. that he and his family took in north of. 2 billion dollars. analyzing these financial disclosures. And as you said, it's crypto schemes, it's foreign government and foreign. government-backed business deals. It's the stock trades. I mean, look, when I'm doing stuff, it could be a town.
hall, whatever, and I talk about. corruption. I talk about banning members. of Congress and people like the. president from trading stocks. You know, the folks even with the MAGA. hats are clapping along because they're. right. This is corrupt stuff. It should. It should gross you out. And by the way, the corruption comes at a cost. Because. when you are defrauding people, when you. are engaged in these pay-to-play. schemes, it doesn't just have no victim. It It It. It erodes trust on our whole system. And.
there's somebody else on the other side. of that trade, especially this meme coin. scheme. And these are supporters and. deep believers in Donald Trump, who he. just took money from in this scheme. It's just nasty stuff. >> Right. I mean, when you look at what his. crypto ventures earned, I mean, you It. looked like earned two plus billion. dollars. Then you look at the people who. bought into it, they lost two billion. dollars. And by the way, it doesn't have to be be. that way. I mean, you know, even if. you're going to do a venture, you know,
people would think, "Okay, you know. what? I'm I'm in a business. I have. shareholders. I have stakeholders. My. job as a fiduciary is to create. shareholder Even if you thought in those. terms, you know, yes, the leadership can. make money. That's No one's saying. leadership can't make money. But it. should be based upon bringing everybody. along for the ride. And to me, it's a. perfect analog to what's happening in. this country where Trump has viewed the.
country as a zero-sum game. I believe he. didn't want to sign the housing bill cuz. he believes if we give new people. housing, we're taking away housing from. the private equity firms, and we're. harming people to help people. And. everything I think he just sees through. the lens if we're going to help the. American people, we then must be hurting. my rich oligarch friends and my friends, the oligarchs, me, my family, we've only. made money our life when we take from. other people. I mean, you look at those.
the charts of the Trump investments, how. he does versus his investors, or how he. does versus the people who buy the meme. coins. It looks like the US economy. It's that K-shaped thing that everybody. talks about where he's made all the. money and everybody's lost all the. money. >> Yeah, and look, as I say, doing this, fine, you're a private business person, okay. Uh. you're not, you're the president. You. occupy the highest office in the land. You have access to so many levers of. power that you can abuse, that you are.
abusing, to enrich yourselves at the. public's expense, right? The kind of. information even a member of Congress. learns, we see members of Congress abuse. that power and trade stock. That's like. on steroids for what the president and. people around him can do, and and a. bunch of ways you just pointed out, they're doing it. Uh they're not shy. about it, and they're making lots of. money uh just like pigs at the trough, man, ripping off the public here. >> You know, you talk about, you know, who. who this Trump regime is looking out.
for, the right-wing oligarchs, private. equity. You know, one of the things that. we've seen I'm when I'm not doing my. Distouch Network, I'm a sports law. professor, and I talk about this in my. class, where you now have private equity. trying to kind of gobble up rights. to children's sports, uh. to kids sports and kids sports leagues. And uh you know, for people who are. like, you know, well, you know, there's. so much to focus on right now, should we. be focusing on these, you know, vulture.
practices in kids sports? I say yes, because it's also symptomatic of a of a. broader issue. If the private equity is. going after your child's Little League, it tells you that there's nothing. off-limits in where they're going to try. to take away the American dream and take. away the. refuge that we have in family and fun in. order to extract profits and I know. you're fighting against that. Talk about.
it. >> Yeah, I introduced this Let Kids Play. Act with Senator Murphy and some others. to get private equity and vulture. investors out of youth sports. And let's. start with the problem. They have turned. youth sports into a luxury item. Think. about that. In America, sports are. supposed to be the great equalizer. Every kid should be able to show up on a. field, on a court, whatever, and have. their shot. You learn about discipline. and hard work. I'm from place where we. bleed black and gold in Western. Pennsylvania. Sports matters to us. They. matter all over the country. But man,
they have rolled up so many different. parts of youth sports. They've jacked up. the cost for families. This is now like. a $40 billion industry making money off. of parents who want their kids to play. So we go right at some of these nasty. practices in the bill. We're trying to. kick out these vulture investors. Remember, this isn't just like some. other part of the economy. We're talking. about youth sports where there is a good. and there's an interest here that is. bigger than just making money. Kids. having a shot to play matters for.
society. It matters for the country. And. I see these vulture investors, I think. they should have nothing to do and be. nowhere near making money off the backs. of kids. >> Chris, I know you're running for. re-election right now as well. To to talk to us though about what. you're seeing in your district and what. you're seeing in Pennsylvania. And if. you're seeing the vibe shift that. appears to be kind of taking place, you. know, from from my vantage point, but I. never want to.
I just spoke with someone out in. Iowa. I just spoke with someone out in. Indiana, you know, and and they're. saying, you know, we've never seen. anything, you know, like it. I mean, you. know, Pennsylvania Commonwealth, you generally. purple, very swing state. What what are. you Are you seeing I mean you saw what. went down in 2024. Are you seeing. differences right now? What do you see? >> Yeah, Pennsylvanians have turned against. Donald Trump. His numbers are imploding. But let me be clear about something.
That does not automatically translate to. Democrats are going to win. It's an. opportunity. I'm going to say this as a. guy who Donald Trump threatened to. imprison and then call for my hanging. Just opposing Trump is not enough. Democrats have to seize this moment to. frankly restore the American dream. I. mean people are tired of getting ripped. off and working hard and their life. doesn't line up to what their hard work. should give them, should earn them. And. I think this is a chance because Donald. Trump has failed so remarkably for.
Democrats to frankly dream bigger than. just meeting this affordability crisis. We got to put juice back in American. dream to build out a good life for. people to make hard work pay off. And. this is a real opportunity to do that. given his failures. So I sense. the voters have turned against Donald. Trump. They've turned against these. Republicans who are so weak in doing. whatever he wants. Democrats have to. offer more and I see so many of us in. that economic fight. But it's a moment. for us to seize it. >> Congressman Deluzio, appreciate you.
coming on as always and appreciate the. great work you're doing. And I think. it'll be. enlightening to a lot of our viewers. what's going on. I mean I'm sure a lot. of them know what's happening in kids. sports like that, but you know, you. should really look into it because it is. a horrific horrific practice. And then. you know what happens next? Then these. private equities want want these tax. breaks relating to it and they want. exemptions because now they're saying, "Look, we're doing it in the public.". The slippery slope kind of continues.
right of of of how they then want to use. children as kind of a as a kind of. cludge against other other taxes and. things like that. >> Yeah, and thanks for having me on, man. >> All right, everybody, hit subscribe.
